"Empress Dowager, what should I do now?" Madam Li was also panicked.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and calmed her mind as much as possible: "Let King Qing come in and then send someone to guard the palace gate."

The palace changed in an instant.

The news of the death of Emperor Lingzhou spread like wildfire, and all civil and military officials were in chaos, but the empress dowager turned all the blame on Concubine Mu.

Because Concubine Mu also visited Emperor Lingzhou, the reason given was that Concubine Mu felt hatred and was angry that Emperor Lingzhou deprived her of the throne, so she deliberately said some exciting words that caused the Emperor Lingzhou to be angry and died of poison.

...

"The emperor has passed away?"

Prime Minister Jiang, who was blocked at the city gate, was a little incredible. He did not rush to enter the city, but wandered outside the city for a long time.

After I found out the situation in the capital, I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Prince, will the emperor's death affect us?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't sit still anymore, covering her heart with one hand, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Prime Minister Jiang comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry, my son will work hard to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After Mrs. Jiang's mood stabilized, she asked again: "The emperor has passed away. Is this throne... King Qing or King Xuan?"

It would be better if it was King Qing, but if it was King Xuan, wouldn’t it mean that Jiang Yunxu was the queen?

When Mrs. Jiang thought of that little girl, she was so angry that her teeth were itchy.

Prime Minister Jiang shook his head. This matter is still unclear. He heard that Chu Xuanzhi's legs had improved.

He is stationed in Tongzhou City and is only three or four days away from the capital. If he really wants to return to Beijing and fight, it is still unknown who wins and loses with King Qing.

"It must not be that unfilial son. If she comes back, we will not have any good results. The little bitch is cruel and ruthless, and even her own father can do it..."

"Mother, Princess Showa was summoned to the palace and died in the palace. The Queen Mother must have a grudge in her heart if she didn't say anything."

Prime Minister Jiang revealed it in one sentence.

Even if I don’t pursue it now, when the opportunity comes to rest one day, the Empress Dowager will definitely pursue this matter.

No matter who ascends the throne, he is the enemy of Prime Minister Jiang’s mansion.

"This..." Mrs. Jiang was at a loss and cursed the person who murdered the poison behind his back: "The emperor is useless, why was he murdered by poisoning and leaving such a mess."

The death of Emperor Lingzhou was within Sang Lian's control. She took advantage of the Emperor Lingzhou who came to visit her, lit a stick of incense, and made poisonous snacks and drank the poison-soaked tea.

The portion was just right, and the Emperor of Lingzhou died suddenly without hesitation.

As soon as the person died, Sang Lian immediately spent a lot of money to send a letter to Prime Minister Jiang, with only two words on it, the prince.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at the word "Crown Prince" and his eyes lit up.

"Who sent it?"

"I'm the little eunuch purchased by the palace. I left after sending the letter."

Prime Minister Jiang was full of heart. He probably guessed something, so he immediately summoned his subordinates and urgently discussed countermeasures.

The next day, news about the Empress Dowager killing the Emperor of Lingzhou spread like wildfire and spread with a nose and eyes.

After hearing the news, the empress dowager was so angry that she cursed: "Bastard, who is spreading rumors behind her back?"

"Empress Dowager, please calm down. It's all rumors and is not worth mentioning. The most important thing now is to let King Qing take office quickly. The country cannot be without a king for a day." Madam Li advised.

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath: "The Ai family never wanted King Qing to be the emperor, but now at this critical moment, wouldn't it be confirmed that the Ai family and King Qing joined forces to murder the emperor? Now it is a good time to compete for the people's hearts, so you must not let King Qing bear the bad reputation."
